Which interconnect cable to upgrade first

Hi,  just a hopefully simple question.   I'm considering upgrading my interconnect cable in my digital system which looks like this:

Network Streamer -> Preamp -> Power Amp

If I were to only upgrade one cable, which one should I upgrade first?   The one from source to preamp, or the one from preamp to power amp.   IOW, which will give me bigger bang for the buck.

Any suggestions, opinions, advices, or experiences are appreciated.   Thanks very much.

I upgrade closest to the source.

Going against the grain here but I find better cables from preamp to amp the critical link therefore deserving your best IC's there!

Nice on the JC2 can't wait to get mine to mate with my JC5

Experiences will vary depending upon each person's system. I wish there was one answer that works for all but there isn't.

Thanks @jdub39 there has been a $500 price drop on the JC2 on every online dealer.  Maybe it’s time to get yourself a holiday gift 😀

I wonder if there will be new update on JC2  coming soon.  JC2 has been out for quite a while now.
